BTW, NYC RM Boutique coming in Fall 2017

To open in the fall of 2017, the boutique will occupy a 5,000 square-feet street-level space on the retail side of the 96-floor 432 Park Avenue.

The store’s address reads 46 East 57th Street.

That's the one

It will be owned by Westime in partnership with Richard like all other Boutiques in US (except Aspen).

That is interesting. Obviously a deep relationship with Westime to use them on the east coast.

Well considering Westime is the distributor for RM in North America, the pockets run deep. They also own all Boutiques (outside of Aspen) in US along with their retail stores--basically run RM in the US.

They are the ones that actually distribute RM watches is US AD's--weird relationship, but it's how they roll.

Hence why all new watches end up at Boutiques in US for several months before hitting ADs.

Old vs new.

I think they each hold their own and honestly wouldn't want to be without one or the other. I will take some additional photos with my other 11s

Congrats John. These are so F'ing awesome! I am not nitpicking just inquiring and trying to educate myself, Does the crown on the 11-03 extend much farther than the 11-01s? I vaguely recall someone on another forum mentioning that it could potentially rub. Either way it is pain I would gladly put up with

I'll let the experts that have them on their wrist reply, but I know 4 people with them and not the case at all.

Not at all. The crown looks larger because the pushers are more recessed with the ntpt casing and the "nadal" notches. Visually it's larger, in function not at all

You're ready!

I would do it sooner than later.

Personally I don't see the brand becoming any cheaper or easier to acquire.

Congrats John! As an owner, I do enjoy tremendously having a rotation consisted of 11s and 11-03!

They certainly make a great looking complimentary pair
